AI Thread Summary
Google has initiated a unique recruitment challenge that targets individuals with extensive programming search histories. A link appears in their search results, prompting them with the message "you know our language." Participants can engage with the challenge by testing their skills in programming languages like Python 2.7 or Java. The challenge aims to provide an enjoyable learning experience while assessing coding abilities. Some users have already completed several tasks and found the problems engaging and interesting. The discussion raises a point about the challenge's relevance for those who are highly proficient and may not need to search for programming solutions anymore.

You can also access the challenge by connecting to this ip: 146.148.62.204

So try and test your 1337 computer skills in Python 2.7 or in java and hopefully you can have fun and learn something cool and new as well.

I've done about 5 of these so far. Cool problems.
 

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
